This document discusses the importance of sharing geospatial data through open web services and APIs to build a platform for transparent and accountable government. It notes that geospatial data is valuable for a wide range of applications and provides critical infrastructure for planning, management, and decision making. However, simply sharing data files is not enough - governments need to create shared geospatial services using open standards to make data widely accessible to new users and applications. It highlights examples like the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership and how ESRI supports public-private partnerships to collaboratively build an open geospatial platform for government 2.0.

5. Data Sharing Is Key to Transparency(data.gov / geodata.gov) Data Clearinghouses Have Improved Access . . .. . . But Are Not Enough To Provide A Platform

6. Open Government Design PrinciplesShare As Much Data As PossibleAccess to Authoritative Source DataAccess to Current DataMake Data Widely AccessibleEnsure Data is Machine ReadableUse Open Formats

7. Governments Need to Create Services Moving from Data File Sharing to Creating Shared Services RESTful ServicesEasily DiscoveredOpen Standards SupportEasy to Use ClientsFree Application Tools (API’s) ServicesShared Geospatial ResourcesOpening Access to Many New Users & Applications

8. From Application to ServicesGeodata.gov was seen as an app (old-school)Data.gov looked at building yet another catalog for dataGeodata.gov and Data.gov collaboratedGeodata.gov now supplies Data.gov with 110,000+ downloadable datasets
